Freevine - A downloader for free streaming services (discontinued)

[PSXman_uk]

Requirements:
Firefox
selenium

selenium more info:
h**ps://pypi.org/project/selenium/
Basically to install: pip install selenium

Installation:
Move the two files into freevine>Services>channel5 directory.
Overwrite channel5.py

open channel5.py with a notepad (or text editor) and
edit line 54:
LOCATION_RETRIEVE_KEYS_HTML = r"file:///mnt/Edrive/portable/freevine/services/channel5/retrieve-keys.html"
This is my linux version and points to where the retrieve-keys.html (which you have just copied) is stored.
Here is a windows example:
LOCATION_RETRIEVE_KEYS_HTML = r"file:///C:/freevine/services/channel5/retrieve-keys.html"
This MUST be correct or it will throw an error.

Done. Use freevine as usual.

Thanks, tested takes a while longer on the first run maybe but works

Works perfectly thank you! Currently catching up with the s11 episodes of BLBITS I've missed since it stopped working

[stabbedbybrick]

What I'm mostly curious about is how you manage to use the slow horribleness that is selenium to fetch the keys in 3 seconds?

Takes me about 7 seconds. As I suggest elsewhere setting a cron job to do it once or twice a week might be a good idea; then you could forget it. I've published the stand-alone python script somewhere.

Yeah, I had everything automated. There's no way I'd remember keeping it up otherwise.

Even under the best circumstances, using selenium to fetch the keys and pushing them to github with git took 15-20 seconds. Whereas with Playwright, I cut that down to 8 seconds (with sleep) on a tired little laptop. It doesn't really matter if you're just using it to update once in a while, but to use selenium directly in a downloading script is a bold move. But if it's that fast for you guys, I'm clearly doing something wrong and should just shut up.

Either way, nice work @the-equalizer. I'm sure it's appreciated by many

Works like a charm, thank you!

It would be nothing without you and A_n_g_e_l_a.

I had not even looked at python before your app. Im a vintage vb.net tinkerer.(xp vintage)
But with the help of your great program and a book called Python Crash Course, I figuired it out.
Freevine is my daily app for grabbing tv bcause it just works and just wanted c5 working again.
So is my changes python perfect. No.
Do I know if my changes are coded correctly. No.
It's like a sticking plaster and for me it works.

At first I tried to do it manaully via bash and if you thought sellium took long, try bash
Then I though of using a config file system like A_n_g_e_l_a.
But if the keys had changed between uses, then you had to run the update and try again.
So I just thought grab the things live and load them in memory.
It was the quickest way I could come up with.

I'm definitely not judging you in any way. I was merely curious how selenium worked for you since I've had bad experiences with it. But it seems to work well so no point in me nitpicking. I'm also slightly obsessive when it comes to optimizing things, which I realize most people aren't. I don't even use most services I code, I just enjoy solving problems and making things work

And it makes me happy to hear you learned something from my code. Freevine was my first major project, and a lot of it was made possible by studying other programmers work. It's pretty cool if I managed to pay it forward in some way.

Keep up the good work!

[the-equalizer]

Oh I never thought you were judging me.
I was just saying, if there are any glaring errors in the code, be gentle as I know very little about python.
It just works for me and wanted to share.

I think the changes i made, were about 9th or 10th version and was on the verge of giving up.
I'm from an age where code starts at the top and works it way down, to the end.
Where as python has defs thats dont run code just define a function.
It was sort of like the old calls, but don't run it.Blew my mind at first.

[coltseavers]

Done. Use freevine as usual.

I just wanted to say a huge thanks for keeping the dream alive!

So what is the purpose of a 'def'(inition) then if not to run code? Think back to your linear programming days. Did you learn to group bits of repeatable code and put it out of the way in a section at the end and jump to it by a goto? Or perhaps in Basic you used procedures 'proc' to make code more readable. The definition of a function is at the heart of all programming; it saves the code in the function having to be repeatedly typed over and over, as it can be written once and called many times, many, many times (Betty Marsden, Round the Horne anyone?), with varying parameters; functions also make code more readable and thus understandable.

And our Python scripts are still linear programming. Although python can be an object oriented language no-one in the field of decryption seems to use it that way

Thanks A_n_g_e_l_a its my daft brain explaining it wrong.
What I meant was under vb.net you had public and private functions and a lot paremeters and return type.
It stood out a mile it was a seperate part of the program and usually seperate from main form? (cant remember, its years since i touched vb.net)
Where as python just has def and is seperated by a line.
What I meant by it doesnt run the code, is that it sits pretty until the function is called.
The only other way I could try and explain it, is that python is more slick, with less words.
Probably still not explaining myself correctly, but thats my old brain!
Give me a ZX Spectrum & a z80 disassembler and i'm happy.

[stabbedbybrick]

Just wanted to let any Channel 5 / MY5 users know that the script will most likely stop working within a week or so. There are other options that will continue to work, like Diazole's original script and perhaps Angela's downloader, so there are still alternatives. I just figured I'd give a notice in case some of you still use this one.

The reason for it stopping is that the automatic hmac retriever that ran daily so that users wouldn't need to do it themselves, is dead. And I won't be fixing it. If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, the hmac keys were basically needed to decrypt API responses. Without them, you won't get a license or manifest from this script. And I think each pair is valid for about a week.

I've written a functional Devine service for MY5 without the need for any hmac at all, which is why I won't be fixing the old method. It's instead using the android API with certification to access the license, which makes things a lot smoother. I'll probably put it up online soon, when the bug with the broken progress bar in Devine has been fixed.

I decided to set up another hmac updater anyway for use with the Devine version. The android endpoint is less cumbersome, but it's also much more aggressive when it comes to blocking VPNs which isn't very fun. And it doesn't come with any improved quality, so might as well keep using this method until it breaks and save the alternative for a rainy day.

It will be updated HERE

If you want to use it with Freevine, replace the old gist in api.yaml and it should work as before.
Or you can just keep using @the-equalizer's great fix. I just figured I'd mention it since it's up and running anyway.

The android endpoint is less cumbersome, but it's also much more aggressive when it comes to blocking VPNs which isn't very fun. And it doesn't come with any improved quality, so might as well keep using this method until it breaks and save the alternative for a rainy day.

It will be updated HERE

If you want to use it with Freevine, replace the old gist in api.yaml and it should work as before.
Or you can just keep using @the-equalizer's great fix. I just figured I'd mention it since it's up and running anyway.

Awesome thank you! Updated and working great again

Hello guys, please help me to download this episode from pluto:
https://pluto.tv/us/on-demand/series/56bbefbf3b514fa74992670f/season/2/episode/56bbefb...514fa749926715

It worked on all other episodes, but I always have problems with this one.

[Tom Saurus]

Is anyone having any trouble with TubiTV via Freevine. I have tried it several times today and everything is failing. I am getting this error:

HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://tubitv.com/oz/videos/0300011089/content?video_resources=hlsv6_widevine_nonclea...esources=hlsv6

I'm going to really miss TubiTV if this is the end but it was nice while it lasted.

I hope there is a remedy for this as out of all the services TubiTV is in my top three with CTV and CBC. It is nice that PlutoTV has been working for me again as of late. TubiTV has been such a rock and worked well for so long it will take a while to adjust to it not working as it has.

I was think maybe one should sign up for TubiTV and have a login and password and then maybe it will work again. I don't think it is a VPN issue as I tried the Canadian one without the VPN turned on and it still failed.

Tubi have made a change to their site, so you won't be using Freevine anymore unless Stabby really feels like looking into a manual fix (given the app has been archived).
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/9937

Fortunately downloads still work ok doing it manually by grabbing the link using The Stream Detector and then downloading with N_m3u8DL-RE, so not all is lost

PSSH _ Thank you so much for your help, god bless you

First thank you for this information and taking the time to find out and letting us know. So I am going to have to go back and learn N_m3u8DL-RE again. I used to have success with TubiTV. Digging in and finding the url, the licence and eventually the PSSH and then the keys by WK Keys. I have forgotten how to do that and Freevine was so convenient and quick. I should have kept my skills up and I hope I can figure it out again.

Thanks stabbedbybrick for all that you did with the Freevine TubiTV service and I am grateful for that. Maybe eventually TubiTV will be added to Devine. I got to give that another go sometime as well.

Working on it:

It's pretty sad that Tubi only offers 720p max, but they have such a unique library it's worth writing a downloader for it. I don't have a lot of time these days, but it should be finished pretty soon I think.

[Tom Saurus]

Thank you for working on a Devine TubiTV service. It really is one of the best streaming websites. I am happy with 480p most of the time. I really better get Devine up and working. I hope whatever TubiTV did that the other services that I use on Freevine will be alright for several months to come.

[mkjustuk]

Anyone not getting subs for a while on ALL4? I haven't had subs for about a week or so, no changes to the config itself and double checked it's as it was.

Tried mp4 and mkv as the container. All ok for subs on MY5 and ITVX.

[sipho]

I download subs from the Ch4 website as the freevine subtitle module strips a lot of the formatting.

[Tom Saurus]

I followed PSSH's Guide for Freevine and what I already knew and relearned and I got Freevine set up on my Sister's computer. One big tip never underestimate the importance when you install python to make sure you check that box about putting Python in Windows PATH. I didn't do that and I had some difficulties getting Freevine running. Then I uninstalled Python and then downloaded and installed it again and this time I made sure I checked the box. Then I could pip install requirements. I then put a key and bob in the WVD folder. Then I ran Freevine to test things out and it created what was necessary to activate the CDM.

Now to get WSK-KEYS working and N_m3u8DL-RE working and then try to finish up with Devine. I did a lot of reading and thinking and I think my brain grew a little bit as my hair has retreated a bit and my forehead has expanded. Perhaps it is all this thinking causing it or maybe it has something about growing older.
